M.I.S.S. Couture: Givenchy Fall 2009

I know it’s been all over the interweb but did you really think I didn’t have anything to say about this?? Hello Chains! I love – I want – I need. I’ve definitely been channeling Mr. T and piling on the chains lately but Givenchy brought new meaning to “piling on chains.” It’s as if the chains aren’t acting as necklaces but more as armor or tops, in and of themselves.

For Fall 2009 Riccardo Tisci was inspired by Morocco and Berber tribespeople, and this came through in the beading patterns and veiled silhouettes. There were lots of interesting silhouettes featuring lush fabrics like velvet and leather. It was a small collection, and you already know the scene stealer were the models in chains. When I first saw the images, I thought the pieces on the face were also jewelery, but upon further inspection, the models had sequins applied to their skin. I wonder how long that took to apply?! Check our more of my favorites in the gallery…

i know a lot of people who were digging chanel and dior’s couture collections, but givenchy was by far my favorite. textures, the colors, the silhouettes of the clothing all came together to make an amazing collection. everything all the way down to the hair and makeup had me inspired.
